Summary

Lakeside Junior-Senior High School in Sibley, LA, serves 546 students in grades 6 through 12 and is part of the Webster Parish school district. Over the past decade, this school has undergone a remarkable transformation, rising from a 1-star rating to a consistent 4-star rating, now ranking in the 73rd percentile statewide. This makes it a standout performer in its region, especially when compared to nearby schools like Minden High School (1-star, 28th percentile) and Ringgold High School (1-star, 12th percentile). Lakeside even matches the performance of Haughton High School (4-star, 74th percentile), despite serving a higher percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (54.21% vs. 46.84%).

Academically, Lakeside excels across the board. In the 2025-2026 school year, proficiency rates in Math (70%), ELA (76%), and Social Studies (62%) all significantly outpaced district and state averages. End-of-course exams show particular strength in English, with English II proficiency at 84% and English I at 78%, far exceeding Minden’s 60% and Ringgold’s 37% in English II. The school also boasts an exceptional graduation rate of 94.7% (2022-2023), well above the state average of 83.2%, and a remarkably low dropout rate of just 0.6%. These results are achieved across all student groups, with strong performance for female students and African American students, indicating broad effectiveness.

One interesting finding is that Lakeside struggles with chronic absenteeism at 29.6% (2024-2025), higher than the state average of 22.5%. This is a paradox given the school’s stellar outcomes, suggesting that instruction for attending students is highly effective, but addressing attendance could unlock even greater success. Overall, Lakeside is a clear anomaly within its district, dramatically outperforming its in-district neighbor Minden High School in every metric. For parents, this school represents a proven track record of improvement, strong academics—especially in English—and a commitment to serving all students well, making it a top choice in the region.
